What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

This is how a Supreme Court judge should conduct themselves;

In an opinion article published today in the Washington Post, Margaret McMullan, an organizer of the Mississippi Book Festival, published her account of inviting Sotomayor to speak in 2019 – noting that the justice turned down a modest stipend and didn’t seem that interested in selling her book:

Subsequent emails and phone conversations were similar. No, Le said, the justice did not need us to provide lunch or dinner. No, she could not accept the $250 stipend.

Did Le urge me to buy more books? No. She did ask whether we wanted any of the copies of “My Beloved World” to be in Spanish. In fact, we did, and I hadn’t thought to order them.

When Sotomayor came to Jackson, we had her speaking in the sanctuary at Galloway Memorial United Methodist Church, the church where Eudora Welty once worshiped. Backstage, Sotomayor smiled when she saw my clipboard of questions. She helped me with my tote bag full of books. She then clapped her hands together and said something like, “Okay. Here’s what we’re going to do.”

In addition to our planned onstage interview, she said, she wanted the freedom to go off-script. “They’re children,” I recall her saying. “I want to be sure I get to their questions.”

“Perfect,” I said.

She concludes:

There very well might be a culture of poor ethical conduct in the Supreme Court, but there is no moral equivalency between justices accepting rides on private jets to vacation with friends who had cases before the court and Sotomayor talking about her books and her life to a crowd of mesmerized young readers.

The standard royalty rate for authors is less than 10 percent of the sales price. I don’t know anything about Sotomayor’s deal with her publishers, but 10 percent would make her cut of the 1,500 books our foundation purchased approximately $2,250 — for which she had to fly to Mississippi and give two presentations. During the hottest month of the year.

Was that a bribe? You be the judge.

I try not to share stuff from overly left-wing media channels but this is quite priceless. He's rambling on and on about showers and water pressure. And they say Biden is losing it.

You can say you have a million dollars in the bank (even if you have only $100 in there). Trump isn't being indicted for this.

You can tell your mates you've a million dollars in that bank. Again, trump isn't being indicted for this.

You cannot go into that bank and demand that they give you your (supposed) million dollars. This is what trump is being indicted for.

MAGA seems to just admit flouting law and order is the point now. Fox suggesting he will violate court orders simply to try and stick it to the judge. Any defendant doing that quickly finds themselves in the Find Out stage. They seem to think a plurality of voters won’t immediately see these as efforts to self martyr.

Alleging something (on fox for example) and saying something under oath are two different things...

A good suggestion i heard today was that any posts need to be vetted by his counsel(solicitors). That would ensure some accountability on their part, and easy sanctions if the direction is not complied with

Don Jr or Eric are minor league compared to 45. They rant and rave all the time and nobody, even trump fans, listen to what they say.

As for their lawyers, if they faced sanction or even disbarment, then they would certainly care. As for Trump caring, if he wants to burn through the entire bar, then so be it. That will wear out the patience of the judge very very quickly.

So I’m curious about those poster who seem to believe the case against trump in relation to January 6th.

• do you agree with Donald trump and others who believed that the election result could be overturned or senator pat toomey who felt that by challenging it in congress it set a dangerous precedent and the constitution sets out a very specific role for congress ?
• do you believe that Donald trumps actions and word on election night and up and until January 6th played any role in the violence that occurred in that day ?
• do you think that then VP mike pence acted within his role as president of the US senate on that day ?

You forget, they believe if their client wins there's a good chance he might win the election again, and hand his lawyers pardons, nominate Aileen Cannon to the SCOTUS, etc.

We're not dealing with a normal case, not even a normal mobster/crimelord case.

A little bit back, I had speculated that Trump would call Chris Christie a 'fat loser' if Trump were to face him in a debate. This clip has not allayed that suspicion. I don't think Trump would let civility stand in his way if he felt on opportunity to pop the crowd with a cheap ad hominem insult.
